Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld said in a Facebook post , ” We have plowed the mains at least twice. We have about 40 trucks out on the roads working, So far we are keeping up with the snow which is now estimated at 15 inches into the evening…..where we need help is for residents to not park their cars on the streets – it really hampers the clean up effort and unfortunately we have hit this situation too many times since we started early this a.m. We just sent a Nixle message out and we will communicate as things change or progress. We would love for more people to sign up for theses as well as e-notices…..stay safe, Roberta”

And now weather advisory would be complete with out a ROBO call from the Mayor : 11:15 – MSG from the Mayor: (Reverse Call)

Good morning.  This is Ridgewood Mayor Paul Aronsohn, and I’m calling to give you a quick update on the winter storm.

The Governor has declared a State of Emergency … and the National Weather Service has increased projected total snow accumulation in our area to 10″-15″.  This includes heavy bands of snow.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect, which means that the roads are dangerous … the winds are strong … and you are urged to stay off the roads and stay at home.

Village crews and contractors have been out in full force with about 40 vehicles on the road.

On-street parking throughout the Village is prohibited until the streets are cleared or until further notice.  This is very important.  To effectively plow the roads, we need all cars off the streets.

Please check the Village website for storm-related updates … and please sign up for email notifications.  And to the extent possible and necessary, please check on your neighbors.

Thank you and be safe.
Paul S. Aronsohn, Mayor
Village of Ridgewood

CHRIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH “SECOND-CHANCE” BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS 

Ridgewood NJ, Families and children of all ages were invited to a Blessing of the Animals celebration on Sunday October 12, 2014 at 3 PM, at Christ Episcopal Church, 105 Cottage Place in Ridgewood.

Everyone was invited to bring their favorite pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, goldfish, stuffed animals . . . any beloved “creatures,” great or small. A short service celebrating all animals was followed by individual blessings of each animal. Refreshments were served.

Some orphaned dogs and cats who are eligible for adoption from the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge in Oakland were also be present.

The service was held at the outside altar, which is by the entrance to the Nursery School on Franklin Avenue.  

Many churches hold Blessing of the Animals celebrations on the first Sunday in October, honoring St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, whose feast day is October 4. The Christ Church celebration on the 12th provides a second chance for anyone who missed the prior week.

Christ Episcopal Church is located at 105 Cottage Place, at the corner of Franklin Avenue, in Ridgewood, NJ.  For more information, call the church office at 201-652-2350 or visit the website at christchurchridgewood.org.

Ridgewood NJ, Clean up from an overnight storm continued into this afternoon in Ridgewood, where a large tree branch took down cable television & telephone lines of a home in the 600 block of Whithill Road, and also smashed the front windshield of a vehicle parked in an adjacent driveway.  Crews from the Village of Ridgewood’s Parks & Recreation Department-Shade Tree Division were observed using chain saws, backpack leaf blowers, and a giant chipper/shredder to clear debris from two (2) homes on the block.  No power outages were reported on the block.  Damage appeared to have been limited to the car windshield, some shrubs, and a wooden fence.
